In December of 2008, Gleim had a solar electricity generating system installed
on the rooftop of its main building at 4201 N.W. 95th Blvd. in Gainesville,
FL. Things have been sunny ever since.

The system, which was the largest in Gainesville when it was first activated,
remains one of the largest of its kind. In addition, it is one of the few
systems that is actually producing more electricity than the business is
using, making Gleim a "net negative" user of energy.

The Gleim system was the first feed-in tariff commercial system in the United
States. Feed-in tariff systems were first promoted in Germany, which is
now the world's largest solar market. Launched for the first time in the
U.S. in March of 2009 by Gainesville Regional Utilities, a city-owned utility,
the feed-in tariff program encourages local businesses to invest in renewable
energy. Under the program, GRU, which serves some 90,000 customers, contracted
to buy power back for 20 years at a predetermined price. Rates were determined
by the size of the system installed.

Dr. Irvin Gleim, President of Gleim Publications, states, "We see ourselves as
stewards of the environment. Philosophically, making this investment was the
right thing to do and fits with our existing operation. The GRU program made
the decision to install the solar electricity generating system good business sense."

Gleim Recycling

Recycling is one of the most important ways that businesses can be stewards of the environment
in which they operate.

Gleim is so successful in its endeavor to recycle everything it possibly can that the entire company
throws away only the equivalent of a couple typical households' trash. Gleim is as green as they can get
with the help and participation of each and every Gleim team member.
